when did my lips say hello?

In my dreams you were an ebony angel

 

[SPACE IS FAKE]

Nothing too crazy. Perhaps all the money wasted on traffic violations

Damn breh I was heavy into Yu Gi Oh too but 5K?!?!?




My deck was fukked up because I only had cards that people gave me Summoned Skull and Red Eyes Black Dragon held me down for a minute

I know, but I needed my deck to be ultra rare everything. Those destiny draws ( 50 a pop), those Card troopers ( 60 a pop), that dark armed dragon secret rare ( can't even describe how much bread I was putting up for those). Buying the Shonen magazines every month ( 10 a month), entering regionals ( 50 per tournament), local tournaments ( 20 a week).

Really burns your pockets

I like to gamble. Sometimes I win, most of the time I lose.

78k in about 4-5 weeks give or take a few days



get a trust fund at 19, brehs

Yikes

I went thru $180K from a trust within 3 years starting when my mom died (I was 19). No job, smoking weed 24/7, buying whatever I wanted, it was great....


Then reality drop kicked me in the fukking face when that money ran out

Im like about $15K in debt now, just starting a sales job to help with that but I don't think I'll be making enough money yet to pay next months bills . Got a boo & 3 year old girl to provide for on top of my dog and I ain't EVER had this kinda pressure in my life. I went from living with my mom, to her dying, and living nice, to swiftly going broke & struggling with my own lil family. Luckily I had great credit to hold me off for the time being but it's getting lower.
My credit score was like 760 & now it's 644

If I could go back I would've been a little more conservative with the impulse buys & maybe should've found a nice lil part time gig or something. Definitely shoulda been more on top of my month-to-month spending & monitored my budgeting. My whole goal was to move across the country & be a rapper (cliche, I know) & start building a buzz with my then-plentiful time & resources, but I didn't even finish my mixtape how I wanted before running out of money . I know I've got talent, charisma and blah blah blah but ultimately, the game ain't going nowhere so I just gotta hustle up and get this money to put myself Ina better position. Silver lining is that at least I'll resonate with the people more. That struggle-comeback story is a lot more appealing to most than some trust fund kid tryna "reach the people" I guess


Wish me luck brehs I went from buying halve ounces every couple weeks to scraping up change for a couple grams to split with my girl on 420

Not saving/investing money. Not hanging around the right people with the right mindset.
